It is.

But also, I just think observations are observations, you know what I mean?

And it's an interesting time that we're living in, isn't it?

You know, free speech-wise and what is and isn't offensive.

And, you know, I went through a real mess of a thing.

No, look, you know what?

I didn't talk about it at the time because I knew no one would listen.

And that's the world we move in now.

You can't comment about that sort of stuff straight away because it defeats the purpose.

Everyone's got a head of steam.

And I was just sort of absorbing what was going on.

There was some stuff in my private life happening at that time too, which was really disastrous.

So I didn't get to put any context around what was happening for me personally.

Dad had just recently died the week before, so I'd done the eulogy at his funeral on the Friday.

And then I was on air on the Monday and this Matildas thing exploded.

But you can't say that at the time.

Because it looks like you're playing the his dad died card.

If that wasn't what had happened, I shouldn't have been at work is really the bottom line.

And the other context about it is that it was all pre-recorded.

I mean, that's how ridiculous it was.
